GERMANY'S HUMILIATION
IT MAY WELL be that Germany does not intend peace, by
yielding completely to the terms of the Allies; the
communications of Germany represent nevertheless a violent
desire to end the war. Not since the day of Napoleon, per
Ihaps never, has a nation been addressed, while it still had pow
erful armies in being, with demands as drastic as those ma'de
by the American president.
The most recent German response surpasses previous re
plies in yielding meekness. It announces the overthrow of
German military authority and its subordination to the civil
power. '
' Whether the purpose is deceptive, or otherwise, in this
note Germany sounds the depths of humiliation.
DEATH OF O'COXNELL
IN THE DEATH of Edwin A. O'Connell the labor movement
in Bridgeport lost a man of ability and influence.' He
iwas a type of many workers; a student of the economics of in
dustry, and fearless in the assertion of the principles in which
'he believed.
INFLUENZA SERUMS
THERE IS NO warrant for the idea that there is in being
any serum which influences favorably the course of
Spanish' influenza. Surgeon General Blue, in a statement re
cently issued by him, says that a number of serums are being
tried, but that the facts returned from the experimentation
give no warrant for a favorable opinion of the treatment.
The wholesale use of influenza serum among the employes
of industrial plants is an experimentation not warranted by
previous results obtained in serum therapy, and not justified
by the experience recently obtained from such experimenta-
tion.
If there are those who are willing to receive the serum
after they have been fully informed as to all of the possible
'consequences of the treatment, there would probably be little
objection.
To invade however the veins of workers, who have not
ibeen' fully informed of the history of serums nor of the after
i results that freniientlv follow such an invasion of the blood
"stream is unwise, and repugnant to morals.
The use of a serum in the presence of the disease is one
(thing; the use of the serum upon healthy men and women as
a preventive is quite another thing. There is no worthy evid
ence as to the duration of immunity, if any occurs. If there is
immunity, the presumption is that the period is short.
The injection of a serum into the blood stream constitutes
a violent shock to the system, which is sometimes attended by
grave results, immediate or delayed.

A
V ACCINATION IN AUSTRALIA
T THE BEGINNING of the war Great Britain had abolish
ed compulsory vaccination among the civil population.
; There had been a long campaign against the Jennerian prac
; lice, which had gradually won to its side the law makers and a
considerable number of noted -doctors. But vaccination was
compulsory for soldiers, sailors, and for those in the civil ser
vice of the government. After the war had been under way for a
year or so, this compulsion was also withdrawn, and vaccina
tion might be received or rejected at his -will by every sub
ject in the realm.
Australia, a British colony, continued to maintain a dras-
jtkfcompulsory vaccination statute. '
: The logic of events penetrated the Commonwealth parlia
ment, and it has abolished compulsory vaccination.
Little by little this useless and filthy rite is being repudiat-
: ed by governments which had accepted i. This repudiation
could not take place, perhaps, unlessthere had been a consid
' erable rejection of the Jennerian rite among medical men. But
the chief element in producing the changed opinion is the
work and investigation of laymen.

ESTER O. PECK, of Redding, Democratic candidate for
Congress, from the Fourth Connecticut District, makes
the right reply to an impudent question. Asked by the Amer
ican Defense Society, "Do you stand against any peace with
Germany not based upon unconditional surrender?" he replied
"I am with President Wilson, uneqeuivocally on all of his- war
, attitudes.''
That is to say Mr. Peck supports the responsible executive
to whom the constitution and the American people have con-
fided the duty of conducting negotiations between America, and
her Allies; between America and her enemies.
This rebuke to an organization which under the pretense
i of extraordinary patriotism is trying to divide the counsels of
: America, and usurp the powers of the executive, shows that
Mr. Peck knows his duty as an American.
It will be interesting to know what answer Mr. Merrilt of
tamiord, made to the same question.
thing will be said if Connecticut shall go as Maine did? Mr.
Spellaey does not matter very much, nor Governor Holcomb. It
does matter what standing the American executive has with
the American people, who can give their opinion only as it
has always been given by voting for or against the party of
the executive. Spellaey is nothing"; iioicomn is notning; Amer
ican solidarity is all.

JL readv to become "something like hereditary president
of a German Republic, like the Kings of England.
England did not attain her present style in kings until she
had tried Charles Stuart by a high court, convicted him of
high crime and removed his head."
It may be the opportunity of the Kaiser to lay the founda
tion for the right sort of king. Some of his subjects have this
idea. The suggestion is growing among German spokesmen
that the Emperor ought to face a tribunal. Harden,
the famous German editor, says, this morning of Wilhelm, "He
is a film hero." This too is suggestive; often is the film hero
seen balanced on a barrel, with a rope about his neck.
THE UNALTERABLE DECISION
HOMAS J.; SPELLACY has the sense of perspective, a
rarer gut man some suppose. "It matters little, he
said, addressing the Woodrow Wilson club, last night," wheth
er Marcus J. Holcomb or Thomas J. Spellaey is elected gover
nor of Connecticut. It does make a difference if the people
of this country repudiate President Wilson, because to do so
.will dishearten the Allies and hearten our enemies."
That is true talk. What followed the election in Maine?
Was it not said from one end of the world to the other that

LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE
CARL FREDERICKSON, met by the alternative of fighting
for the United States or repudiating it, selected the lat
ter cturse. Finding that repudiation had its consequences, he
desired to withdraw and finds he cannot. The man who has in
his mind doubt about the desirability of citizenship in America,
and who carries his doubt to the point of giving up his first pa
pers, should never be admitted to the privilege. Whether-his at
titude was the result of fear, or whether its was the consequence
of a concealed but active sympathy with Germny Is of
little consequence. America has no desire to adopt cowards, or
-Germans.
Editor Times:
Where would the Union have been
if in the trying days In the early six
ties if the Northern Democrats did
not put their country before their
party and cast their , lot and their
votes for Abraham Lincoln?
What is going to happen In the
world at this time if the Northern
Republicans dp not put their country
before their party and support the
president In the greatest crisis in the
history of civilization?
Is Republican New England going
to permit the German Chancellor and
the autocracy of Germany to tske
courage and secure a political re
action in Europe by proclaiming on
November 6th next, that the spokes
man of the Allies has been repudiated
by his people 'through the defeat of
his party?
These are three questions that ev
ery American would do well to ponder
over before he casts his vote.
If peace was secured tomorrow
through an armistice Germany would
still be in the strongest position in
Europe. With a few months to get
her breath in she would mobolize the
Letts, the Ukrainians, the Livonians
and Esthonians so that in a short
time she would again be as strong in
numbers as she was in 1914.
Within a short time she would be
back in the fray fighting for renewed
life of autocracy. By the Allies be
ing able to keep driving her armies
back on the western front Germany
is prevented from putting her house
in order on the astern front. The
people of the former Russian . states
on the Baltic are watching the swing
of the pendulum. They know that if
the Germans are able to stop the Al
lies at the Franco -German frontier
that they will have to furnish mil
lions of men io fight under the Ger
man eagles.
With President Wilson's party
repudiated at the polls the Germans
will have the argument that thev are
, loomng ior ana tney will make use
of it. The power rests in the hands
of the sovereign Americans of New
England. Will they make their bal
lots each a bullet to end the war or
will fall to see the point?
Theirs is to will. There

WHO
IN CITY COUJIT.
Vladimir Zlmke of 186 Cedar
street, born in Russia, waived his
alien rights today when he-appeared.
In the city court on a charge of car
rying concealed weapons, said he is
willing to take his chances in the
draft with Americans, and escaped
with a fine of $15 instead of the usual
J100 and jail sentence, Zlmke was
a passenger on a trolley car Saturday
night and terrified some of the pas
sengers with the display of a re
volver. Five days in jail, with promise of
a six months' sentence if he appears

lar charge was the penalty imposed
by Judge Wilder on John Mackley of

to church,.
Cases of several alleged street walk
ers ware called in the city court today,
but continued until Saturday for
